Freehostia Reviews
Worst Service Ever
NO email sending. NOT WORDPRESS FRIENDLY-seriously, PLEASE look elsewhere if you are going to host a blog, the kind of poor experience I had could only be wished on my worst enemy twice removed. They do not tell you that free users are behind a firewall, thus ANY plugin that requires use of your server will be rendered void, that includes FORUMS, SEO packs, Twitter plugins, ASKIMET, Intense Debate, and so much more. Slow Speeds-speaks for itself Shitty upload capacity-only 500mb max ftp uploads, you can't use any powerful plugins, including gallery plugins that automatically watermark your pictures. -99.9% uptime. The servers were always down, sometimes I couldn't even access freehostia.com. The customer service is ok, at least they respond within the hour, even if it's to say "we can't handle this, contact wordpress, thanks-mike jones" Overall, worst experience ever. I am now having a nightmare switching over to justhost...Save yourself the trouble, please.

Perfectly adequate
When I first joined, servers were down for a week so you couldn't upload anything but they sent around email and the problem was fixed. The support videos aren't very good but tickets are answered promptly and helpfully. The problem is that you have to renew your plan every year even if you are on a free plan which they don't tell you when you first join. Overall, I would reccomend this web host.

Servers OFF No Notice Given!
After months of terrible service with my website going up and down repeatedly, I get an Email on the 14th October 2008 saying Freehostia are transferring servers, the 1st ever Email or slightest hint they'd be a problem. I went to get into my site and it was already down. NO NOTICE GIVEN WHAT-SO-EVER! I can't get into FTP or even to the front panel to place a support ticket. No-one can update their website until the 22nd October 2008 and they refuse to reply to any emails no matter what I send. This is an absolute joke as Freehostia have obviously done this so people can't leave them, they would have known about this upgrade for months! My emails probably won't be sent either. Now I can't even get an EPP Key (transfer authorization code) to move providers as they won't answer Emails and my site is totally down. I would place an awful review about them on-line, but my site is down. I'm now losing hits and lots of indexing on search engines. STAY AWAY FROM FREEHOSTIA!

Don't be conned!
I have held domains for 7 years with various different hosting providers, and can safely say that the service I have had from Freehostia has been the worse. I paid for a hosting account with them in Oct 07, and since then they have changed servers so many times! they do not email their clients to advise of server changes, you just suddenly find email is not working etc. The email forwarding works for about a few weeks at a time and then stops altogether. If they cannot solve a simple thing like email forwarding they should not be in this business. The service I have had is disgusting, and I now wonder if its a group of kids taking your money, not really offering a service at all, and then fobbing you off with rubish in the hope that you get so frustrated you take your business elsewhere. It's a joke! It's a con!

freehostia bites free or paid
hi> o started out with freeehostia as a free server, which wasnt so bad. then i went to paid service when i bought my dot com name and then things got worse. ever since ocotober 2007 there are frequent outages, files lost, no access to the CP constant problems with thier servers. Ect. Granted i didnt pay much for my hosting but you would think that they could deliver on what they advertise. Makes a decent free host but if youre going to pay for one , doing it here is not worth the hassle.
